HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Harvard University has adopted an agreement with the Andover Theological Seminary, whereby the libraries of the Seminary and of the Harvard Divinity School will be combined, under the name of the Andover-Harvard Theological Library. The project is to "unite the Theological Libraries of the two institutions for all working purposes in one single large theological library."
All books will be free for the use of students in either institution under similar privileges, but the individual libraries will continue under the ownership and ultimate control of the respective trustees. In addition an endeavor will be made to procure from the University Library those books which have a particular bearing on theological study.
The Seminary will provide a building which will contain a reading and reference room, accommodating at least 50 readers at one time, and a fireproof stack for at least 200,000 volumes. One of the requisites of the building is that this stack room must be capable of indefinite enlargement.
The management of the library will be entrusted to a joint council composed of two members from each institution and the expense of maintenance will be shared equally by both.
